Trees come down.
We take them down right.

Bess Rootz is a family-run tree service out of Florence, South Carolina. We take down pines and hardwoods that are too close to the house, trim the ones worth keeping, grind out the stumps, and clear what a storm leaves behind — up to 90 miles out.

What we do

Four kinds of work, done the same way every time

Look at it, tell you the truth about it, price it before we start, and leave the yard cleaner than we found it.

All services
Emergency line

Tree on the house? Call me. Any hour.

Storm work comes first here. Trees off the drive, off the roof, hung-up limbs brought down safe. If it is blocking you in or sitting on the house, do not wait for morning and do not wait on a quote form — pick up the phone.

How it goes

Three steps, no surprises and no pressure

01

You call or send a photo

Call, text or fill in the estimate form. A picture of the tree from a couple of angles tells us more than a paragraph does — we will tell you what we are looking at before we ever come out.

02

We come look and price it

Free, on site, at a time that suits you. You get a straight number and an honest read on whether the tree needs to come down or can be pruned and kept.

03

We do the job and clean up

Brush chipped, limbs and logs hauled, stumps ground below grade, yard raked before we pull out. If you want the firewood, we will cut it to length and stack it.

Where we work

Florence, Myrtle Beach and Charleston — we travel for it

Florence is home base. That gives us the Pee Dee, and from there we run out toward the coast — Darlington and Hartsville up the road, Marion and Dillon to the north, Sumter and Manning west, over the line into Lumberton. Myrtle Beach and Charleston we travel to for work, and we go further out for a job that calls for it. If you are not sure whether you are in range, call and ask. We would rather tell you yes or no than have you wonder.

    Who you are calling

    A family name on the truck, and on the phone

    Bess Rootz is a family business. When you call, you are not routed through a call center or promised to a salesman — you get the person whose name is on the work. That is the whole idea behind it.

    We are based in Florence, we work where we live, and we know what these trees do. Pines drop limbs on a still afternoon, water oaks rot in the middle and look fine from the ground, and a stump left in the yard is a mower repair waiting to happen. The neighbor you wave at is the one who tells people whether we did right by them, so we do.

    Attach a photo if you can — two or three angles is plenty. It goes straight to us, and we call you back to set up a time to come out and look at it in person.
